Probably not.  The main porting issues are not the compiler,
but the run-time system for the executable.  I.e. you need to
implement threads, gc, and exception handling for the Philips Nino.
It is a good chance this will be easy, but it may be difficult,
and in any case there is a little bit of figuring out what to do.
